The player and your companions aren't too sure what the practitioner meant... but you hear a commotion coming from some of the pillars. There's an orange-colored figure, climbing the stone structures and tearing down flags. Piston and her dragon immediately confront the Pirate Witch- who says she knows nothing of a missing gear. She's stealing flags for her pirate ship, and she's not from around here even! She Points towards the exit of the valley, which meets up with a Desert Land that is far away. She says she saw a shady character in that direction...

You head towards the exit of the valley, and in plain sight is the gear! it's half buried in the sand, a cloaked character stands over it. Once again, Piston accuses... and the cloaked figure explains he was passing through and heard the gear hit the sands one day. It wasn't stolen.... the windmill had malfunctioned, and spit the gear out. The figure bows his head, and journeys back to his desert home.
